Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott?
comments all right we're ready Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. Never been a better time.
But if you want to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or microglass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Well, I don't know what's going to happen today. My brain's not working at 100%. Yesterday was kind of a sick day. But today, I'm at least barely functional. So back at it.
If you're subscribed to the Dilbert comic, which you can do there on X, just go to my account on X and you'll see the button. You'd see that the pointy-haired boss hired a hypnotist to hypnotize their AI and to teach it persuasion. That hypnotist, you might notice, looks a lot like me. Coincidence. Total coincidence.
So anyway, if you're following Dilbert, look for the hypnotist who looks like me. He causes trouble. According to the Babylon Bee, I think the Babylon Bee was pointing to a real poll, but it's hard to tell what's real these days. There was a poll that said 26% of Americans still trust the media. Babylon Bee calls that a disturbing poll, that you still trust the media.
Now, of course, you know, I always say that 25% of the people in every poll, 25% will get totally the wrong answer, you know, if there's a right answer. And this is one that has a right answer. If you're trusting the media... you really haven't been paying attention. So yeah, about a quarter of every poll has exactly the wrong answer.
So there's a TV show, I think it's only on Apple TV, called Severance. And people kept mentioning it to me and saying, hey, why aren't you watching that Severance series? It's great. And I wasn't interested until Michael Malice described it as He said, Severance is superb. It's Lost meets Dilbert. And then I thought, well, I got to watch that.
And it's also weird because one of the actors is Adam Scott. Kind of weird, isn't it? That somebody would be in a show that has a Dilbert-esque part to it, and his name is Adam Scott. Well, I was all about ready to watch it until I saw some other people giving their comments about it. And now I'm not interested.

Chapter 2: What does Scott think about trust in the media?
You know, if somebody says, yeah, it's really slow and nothing happens, I'm not going to watch that. But I never watched Lost. So being half Dilbert is good. Being half Lost is sort of a reason not to watch it. So probably won't watch it. How many of you saw the putdown that J.D. Vance did on... Mehdi Hassan, who used to work at MSNBC, but I think he got fired or quit. I don't remember.
But here's what Mehdi said. He said, hey, J.D. Vance. He said this on X. Hey, J.D. Vance, I know you're busy lecturing the Europeans on free speech, but have you seen this? And it's a report about the AP being kicked out of the press briefings. And J.D. Vance answers with this on X. Now, this is the vice president I want. His first words. Yes, dummy. Yes, dummy.
I think there's a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the White House press briefing room and jailing people for dissenting views. The latter is a threat to free speech. The former is not. Hope that helps. I like how helpful he is. Hey, dummy. Now, do you think that a vice president could have ever said, yes, dummy, to a member of the media before the Trump administration?
But now it just makes sense. It just seemed completely normal. So Elon Musk has proposed that when he visits Fort Knox to see if the gold is really there as part of the Doge project, then maybe they should live stream it. Now, I don't know if that's a good idea or not, because could you tell by just looking at it that it's all there? I guess the fun would be if there's none there.
Imagine how much we spend on security if there's no gold in there. That would be the funniest story in all of America that we've been spending like probably $10 million a year, I'm just guessing, to guard a building that didn't have anything in it. That would be just the perfect ending. Yeah, and of course, Al Capone's vault is what we're all going to be thinking about.
So I've got a feeling it's like a reverse Al Capone's vault. So Al Capone's vault, you remember Geraldo was opening the vault that belonged to Al Capone. And they were going to see if there was any cool things inside. What he found was there was nothing inside. So this would be like a reverse Al Capone's thing. If we find out that there's nothing inside, that would be the surprise.
Again, is that a reverse or is that the same? I don't know. My brain's not working today. By the way, Grok 3 is out. Way better than Grok 2, and according to the metrics I saw, it would be the best AI out there. I guess what Musk is doing right with AI is he's just built a better training technology platform. So he's just got a more efficient way and a bigger way of training it.

Chapter 3: Why is Scott hesitant to watch the show 'Severance'?
So I guess there's a pretty good chance it's going to stay ahead. So I haven't tried it out fully, but I asked it some questions this morning, and it gave me good answers. Now, I understand that some people have been having conversations with it, but I don't see that option. So am I only imagining that you can talk to it? You can talk to it by holding down the microphone. I found that option.
But I didn't see an option for just talking to it. Maybe there is. I don't know. So we'll watch that. On X, a user called Indra asked me a question. Well, asked a question. I decided to answer it. Why do you think it's so hard to get these models, that would be the AI models, to write or understand humor? You'd think reasoning would help there. It made it worse.
Now, I don't think the reasoning helps you write humor exactly. So I thought I'd take a stab at it. You've heard a version of this before, but I think I did it better this time. So this is my version of why AI can't do humor. Number one, the hidden problem is that humor depends on the personality of the humorist. In fiction, it depends on the personality of the character.
So Dilbert is a character, and when Dilbert does nerdy things where he doesn't understand how things work in the social world, but he's really good with technology, that's somebody you know. If you watched the TV show Friends or Seinfeld, you saw that each of the characters had their own unique personalities. And a joke that one character could do wouldn't work with the others.
So one of the characters in Friends was Joey, who was a famous womanizer. And he could make humor just by saying, how you doing? You know, because it was a running gag and he said it funny. But AI can't do that because AI is not Joey. And AI also doesn't have a funny voice. If you took away the exact way that Joey said it, which I can't do in my impression, you do it.
It's sort of the exact way he says it that makes it work. Seinfeld, same thing. If you took away Seinfeld's voice that's just sort of perfectly designed or maybe developed it over time, it's perfectly designed for humor.
If you looked at, let's say, the George character on Seinfeld, as soon as you know what that character is about, you know he's kind of selfish and small and just looking for an angle and stuff like that, then anything he does that's in that context is funnier. So AI doesn't have a personality. So if it had a personality, it could do humor within the personality, and that might work.
But there are other problems. The personality has to have flaws. So a personality where you're just really good at stuff, that's not really going to work for humor. You have to have flaws. So you have to be selfish. That's usually the best one. Selfish, uncaring, lacking empathy. So basically negative personality characteristics. Now, in the case of Dilbert, he is really good at technology.
But he's really bad at understanding anything like dating or social interaction. So that's a weakness. It's a flaw. And AI can't present itself with flaws because you wouldn't trust it. You say, oh, it seems like you're a little emotional or something. It would just seem too human, I guess. So no flaws in the personality.

Chapter 4: What are the key issues Scott raises about the COVID response?
Now, here's the funny part of that. And part of my offer is that if I can't do it and it's not funny, and whoever is going to pay me the billion can be the judge of that if it's not funny. If it's not funny, you owe me nothing. It's free. So that's pretty good service, right? Because if you had the first funny AI... You don't think you'd make an extra billion? Of course you would.
If you could have an AI that was literally funny, like not the way the current ones are, that's worth probably lots of billions of dollars. So for $1 billion, I'll offer to make yours the only funny AI. We'll see. All right, James Carville is calling out Democrats for being super racist. You know, Carville's one of the few people I'd like to interview. You know, usually, oh, go to hell.
Yeah, just go to hell. Looking at the comments. There's some people who are so toxic. that it's hard to understand. It's just hard to understand the level of toxicity. But just go straight to hell. You know who I'm talking to. All right.
So James Carville said that when the Democrats refer to people of color, he says that's racist because it makes the assumption that people of color are all the same. And he uses the example, are you saying that the Nigerians and the Indonesians are basically the same? As long as they're not white, they're basically all just non-white people that are the same. And of course he's right.
But I think it's way deeper than that. I think he's close to the answer. And the answer is that every single thing Democrats do is built in that identity model. So if you start with identity, it's going to be racist. Because that's what identity is. If you can't get rid of the identity politics, you'll never get rid of the racism that's built into the worldview.
So James Carville is probably the most helpful person to the Democrats, and I would love to know if they're paying attention. I have a feeling that they're not, and that nothing he says matters because he's an old white guy, which, of course, might be his point, too. Well, Dr. Birx, remember Dr. Birx? He was Fauci's little right-hand person there.

Chapter 5: What does Dr. Birx admit about the government's COVID response?
And didn't you always suspect that they weren't telling you the truth? Now, some of this might be a repeat, but the Vigilant Fox did a good thread today putting it all together. So Birx has sort of been talking, and Here's some of the things we learned from Dr. Birx. So she was the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under the first Trump administration.
So she admitted during a recent appearance on Piers Morgan. that the government botched the COVID response by overlooking early treatments. Early treatments, which would have been ivermectin? I don't know. So, but didn't we all know that? I feel like every single person in the public knew that something less than a vaccination, which was not really a vaccination, something less than a shot
probably would make sense. It's amazing. I can't tell if they lied about it so that they could get the shots in it to everybody. It looks like that's what happened. Or did they actually not know? Or is it a motivated ignorance where they're sort of motivated to say there's nothing else that could work? I don't know. It's kind of a gray area. And she said...
then she said that the claims from the biden administration that the the jabs of efficacy were based on hope not science so the idea that the shots would stop the transmission was never based on any science and and burke's actually says it was developed specifically to keep the most vulnerable people alive it wasn't it wasn't even designed to stop the spread Imagine finding that out now.
This is the... Well, I would go further. So if they developed it not for people who were, let's say, young and healthy, and then they forced it on people that are young and healthy, I actually think the death penalty would be in order. I think you should be murdered. Well, no, not murdered. They'd have to go through the legal system. But if you lied to the public...
about something that's definitely going to kill some of them and provide no benefit whatsoever. And they knew it because they developed the thing not to be necessary for young, healthy people. And that's what Berks is saying. She's basically saying they knew it wasn't for young people. And they also knew it wasn't going to stop the spread.
And then they told us it was going to stop the spread, so you better give it to young people. That should be the death penalty. And the only reason it's not, I guess, is because we're not used to treating medical stuff like a crime. But this is way more like a crime than a medical treatment. To me, the domain is crime.
If you say the domain is healthcare and sometimes you get some wrong, well, I don't want people to be punished for a good faith healthcare opinion that ends up being wrong. I don't want people punished for a mistake. But that's not what we're being reported on. That's not what's reported. What's reported is they knew exactly what they were doing and did it anyway.
I would imagine that there are at least 20 people who should be subject to the death sentence for that. That would depend on what state and what you would call it. But this is murder. It's murder. Isn't it? if you know people are going to die and you do it anyway, and you know that it was not even meant for the purpose that you told everybody to do it, isn't that murder? I don't know.

Chapter 6: What are Scott's thoughts on the Ukraine peace talks?
Chapter 7: How does Scott feel about the concept of AI and humor?
Chapter 8: What controversial statement does Scott make about the COVID vaccine?
probably would make sense. It's amazing. I can't tell if they lied about it so that they could get the shots in it to everybody. It looks like that's what happened. Or did they actually not know? Or is it a motivated ignorance where they're sort of motivated to say there's nothing else that could work? I don't know. It's kind of a gray area. And she said...

So I'm not sure how much of that is new. Most of you knew that, but to hear Burke say it out loud as the new element that they knew, because I was still open to the possibility that it was a fog of war situation and Maybe they didn't know what they were doing. They just hoped it would work. And she actually says that the thought that it would stop the spread was based on a hope.
They could have mentioned that to us. How about they tell us next time if it's just a hope? Anyway. Meanwhile, over in Saudi Arabia, I guess Russia's top people are meeting with some of our taught people to talk about Ukraine. The fun part is that Zelensky and Europe were not invited. The parties which would have the most, you know, the most, you think the most interest.
